Climate Control Relocation

[keeters]

Why does everyone relocate the climate control unit to the bottom cubby when replacing the stereo with a dual din unit? Will it not fit in the second from bottom cubby? I would rather relocate mine to the higher position.

Thanks,
Brad

Because there is not a pre-made trim piece for that slot. Some have used a modified cup holder or upper CC slot trim piece, but it requires some cutting.

Geez! I just did what everybody else did!

Will the climate control unit fit in the same trim piece for the DSP sound control panel or will I need to get another trim panel for the climate controls? They look to be the same size, but I have not been able to measure them yet. I am doing the work for a friend that has the DSP already in the car, but we plan on getting rid of it since they are going to put in the cup holders.
